In search of new solutions in this open access book, Lay Sion Ng turns to an unexpected source: Ernest Hemingway.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHemingway's ecological perspective is often overlooked in his work. This book expands on emerging scholarship, exploring Hemingway's non-anthropocentric view of non-human entities to offer fresh insights into the author and his nonhuman characters in his long-length fiction such as \u003ci\u003eThe Sun Also Rises\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e A Farewell to Arms\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e For Whom the Bell Tolls\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man and the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e The Garden of Eden\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as short stories like \u003ci\u003eThe Snows of Kilimanjaro\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Big Two-Hearted River\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Natural History of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough a multidisciplinary lens-including material ecocriticism, eco-gothic, posthumanism, light\/colour ecology, olfactory discourse, environmental history, and cultural ecology-Ng challenges the notion of Hemingway as merely a hyper-masculine figure. Instead, she reveals his texts as \"ecological forces\" that can heighten our awareness of nonhuman agency, leading us to understand our own place in this interconnected world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
